This glass negative records a portrait of Bird J. Vincent, identified in its title as being from Michigan, though the name and place come from data the National Photo Company wrote on the negative sleeve and have not been independently verified. The image is dated to about 1923 based on other negatives in the same group. The National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C., firm, made large numbers of such glass plates to document public figures, buildings, and events of the period. Streaks and blemishes on the surface reflect the gradual breakdown of the original emulsion coatings over time.
